“The whole CODA team is also so grateful to Sundance for being a part of the film’s journey.
Based on the award-winning French film titled La famille belier, CODA (an acronym for Child of Deaf Adults) centers on Ruby, the only hearing person in her deaf family.
Following an intense bidding war against multiple studios including Amazon, Deadline brings word that Apple Studios has successfully won the worldwide distribution rights to Sian Heder’s coming-of-age drama film titled CODA, which recently had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
The deal reportedly cost Apple around $25 million which sets a new Sundance sale record by breaking last year’s NEON-Hulu acquisition of Palm Springs starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti.
